house is here!it has been a long time since i posted on here...<br />so many crazy exciting things going on right now<br />one of which is the fact that the house came this past wednesday<br />it was so unbelievably cool watching them crane it up and over our trailer and put the pieces together on the basement<br />wow<br />i took a ton of pics but i'm not sure you accurately get just how amazing it was just from seeing the pics<br />we still don't have a move in date<br />my mil's guess is mid-october<br />i was hoping for sooner than that but i'll take it<br />i know it will be so worth all the waiting<br />if only i was a little better at waiting<br />so here are some pics<br />will hopefully have some of the inside soon<br />and will try to get a better front view pic of the house<br />its hard with the trailer still in front of it<br /><br /><a href="http://s200.photobucket.com/albums/aa177/fotofreak30/house%20stuff/?action=view&current=day1018.jpg" target="_blank"><img

we would be able to have Austin's bday party at our house for a change <br />but now,<br />who knows<br />i am trying to be patient<br />but it is truly not one of my virtues<br />thanks for being a

is somewhat blocking our view of the garage<br />hubby has promised me that we will plant trees to cover up the rest<br />anyhow,if you have never seen a whole building being moved before...it is pretty cool<br />it sure is a long slow process though<br />so here is the moving of the building in pics<br /><a

trees...and Austin's boo-boothis past weekend we lost 2 maple trees...a sugar maple and a silver maple<br />the kids and i were so sad to see them go<br />i know we will plant some more but it is sad to think about how many years it will take before they will be big and beautiful<br />here is what they looked like...too bad they weren't all leafy so you could see just how pretty they were<br /><a

actually see the spray of woodchips from the chain saw...pretty cool i thought :)<br />and here is a pic of the kiddos standing on the stump of the silver maple<br /><a

Austin's boo-boo...he had a "run in"~pun intended~with a metal door and we ended up in the er<br />he is now the proud owner of 3 staples in his head...until friday when they will be removed...talk about a conversation piece, lol<br />here is a pic, sorry it is fuzzy...it was really hard to get a good pic of them<br /><a

and dirtso behind our trailer sits a wood building that my fil uses for extra storage<br />the problem is...<br />said building is sitting right where my house is going, soooooo<br /><a

src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa177/fotofreak30/house%20stuff/bulldozer09010.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />it has got to go<br />now, really, i was hoping they were just going to tear it down<br />unfortunately they had other plans<br />they are going to move it so it is behind my fil's garage/workshop<br /><a href="http://s200.photobucket.com/albums/aa177/fotofreak30/house%20stuff/?action=view&current=4wheeling004.jpg" target="_blank"><img

/>whatever....thank goodness we plan to cover it up with pine trees :)<br />so yesterday they had the bulldozer out to make a flat spot in which to set the building<br /><a href="http://s200.photobucket.com/albums/aa177/fotofreak30/house%20stuff/?action=view&current=bulldozer09001.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa177/fotofreak30/house%20stuff/bulldozer09001.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />it was definitely not as exciting to watch as i thought it would be<br />and now we have a giant pile of dirt<br /><a href="http://s200.photobucket.com/albums/aa177/fotofreak30/house%20stuff/?action=view&current=bulldozer09009.jpg" target="_blank"><img

raining<br />so really, we have a giant pile of mud<br />ugh<br />have i said before how much i hate mud?My Precious Peanut

color choiceshere they are as promised<br />and let me start by saying, the pic of the linoleum is terrible...it is really very pretty in person, hopefully when it is actually in the house i will be able to get a better shot of it<br />also, we decided to do the same color carpet &amp; linoleum throughout the whole house for a couple reasons<br />1. they charge you an extra $80 for each room that you choose a different color of flooring<br />2. they did not have a huge selection of colors ie. no pink to choose for Mady's room, lol<br />eventually we will be changing most if not all of the linoleum to tile, which Matt wants to do himself<br />i love ceramic tile, but am in no hurry for it yet...Austin is 12, Cody is 9 and Mady is 3...need i say more??<br />we are planning to do the kitchen in a tuscan style<br />but as for the rest of the house...i am clueless!<br />im thinking about chocolate brown and aqua or turquoise for our bedroom and bathroom with a little bit of pink thrown in just because<br />and Mady has been begging for a pink room since she learned what that color was, lol~for those of you who don't know, her room now is done in mint green &amp; yellow because she kept us in suspense until the day she was born :)<br />im not sure what we will do in the boys room...Cody likes navy blue and green and Austin likes red and black...any good ideas on how to combine those into one room??<br />hopefully in a few years we will get a bedroom done for Austin in the basement but until then they will be sharing a room still<br />i have no ideas for the living room<br />if you know of any great sites for decorating ideas please leave them for me in the comment section!!<br /><br /><div style="width: 480px; text-align: center;"><embed

and scared...after 12+ yrs of living in our cramped trailer with only 980 sq ft of space we are finally going to be building a house!!<br />i am so excited i think i could burst!<br />soon we will have over 1800 sq ft of living space...plus a full(walkout) basement...can you say *CRAFT ROOM* for tiff!!<br />WOOHOO!<br />oh yeah and a toy room for the kids<br />but let's be serious<br />the craft room for me is definitely more exciting, lol<br />i plan on posting updates throughout the process so you can share in the excitement with me<br />sooo....let me get you caught up to where we are right now<br />loan is approved<br />papers are signed<br />and yesterday we had the fun?? job of picking out countertops, flooring, siding, etc<br />here is a link to what our house will look like <a href="http://mymidwesthome.com/ViewNewHomeDetails.aspx?ModelID=78">http://mymidwesthome.com/ViewNewHomeDetails.aspx?ModelID=78</a><br />for those of you unfamiliar with modular homes, click <a

where are you?today is one of those gray, cold, windy days that makes me want to pack up everything and move to another state that is sunshiney and warm<br />crappy weather + 3 children with spring fever + 1 irritable momma = disaster!<br />this is definitely one of those days where i wish i had a nice little craft room all my own to go and hideout in<br />somewhere i won't be bothered or have to listen to the sound effects that the boys are constantly making<br />somewhere that there aren't any broken toys or lego pieces to step on...<br />in my house, such a place does not exist except in my mind and on days like today even my mind becomes cloudy and gray and it is difficult for me to even crawl to my happy place that exists as only a daydream <br />i'm sure there are truly wonderful, organized moms out there who have oodles of things for their kids to do on a day like today...i am not one of those moms<br />i have found that if i growl and grump enough my kids generally get the hint and leave the momma bear alone, even if only for awhile<br />my crafting table is overflowing with half finished projects and my storage drawers are overflowing with supplies but yet i sit<br

is my favorite colori've come to realize something over the past week or so...apparently being a mom for 12+ years pretty much makes your pre~mom topics of conversation null and void. everytime i try to write something here i end up deleting more than is actually written because it seems everything is somehow tied to my beautiful children. so, to that end...i will now be including "child talk" in my blog and i hope you will understand why. being a mom is such a part of me that it is inescapable. and that's ok. i promise to still include glimpses of the girl who used to be able to eat a big mac, large fry, chocolate shake, cheeseburger happy meal, 6 piece nugget and apple pie all in one sitting without gaining so much as an ounce, for she is still there...just hiding behind some baby fat and a stretch mark or two...LOLMy Precious Peanut
